iEntertainment boasts a game called "Splatberry Pie" on their website. I was too cowed in fear to investigate further, but it sounds like what the developers will be eating when this game flops. Along with crow, for ever claiming to have "Internet smoothing technology." If they manage to sell that, I have some "anti-assmuncher debugging software" for sale.

Sega publishing Matrix Online. So now a developer with no experience in MMOG's is being published by a publisher with no experience in MMOG's. OY.

I updated the article to include some CoH news that SonicPurge and Signe linked to in other threads.

I know I'm putting myself at risk here by sayin' this...But the Matrix Online actually seems impressive (and no, I absolutely fucking hate the movies). I've been dogging it since Day 1, but after taking a closer look: If they deliver what they say they will, then the combat system will definitely be a step up (some non-combat stuff looks pretty cool too, like the stealther missions, hacking, the sheer size of the game world, the ability to move inside any building, etc.).

Yeah, I'll second stray.  It sounds... hopeful.  It's the type of thing you could go all fanboi over, or crap over, and with about the same weight of argument.  They could just duplicate everything already done... but in a virtual virtual anime world.  They could really change how advancement and such are handled, with the fact that you can instantly learn skills (as in the movie) - or that skill advancement is placed with "available points" advancement, and you just get UO with auto-respec.

Again, too little info to know.

"Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us." -SC

Did anyone here besides Schild sign up for beta? I was tempted but didn't.

I signed up mostly because it looks like an urban combat sort of MMO so I"m curious as to how it plays.  Don't really care one way or the other about the movies.  Even if the game doesn't suck I'm probably not too likely to play it come retail, but it could end up surprising me.

I wasn't even tempted, but who knows, if I hear fun things about it from people already in the beta, I might give it a shot.
